The only part that really seemed incredulous to me was when the Ewoks were beating them down with those little cudgels.

Yeah, that is the precise scene I'm thinking of. While I'm sure it made me laugh as a kid, now it just makes me groan. All this building up of the Empire as the baddest asses around only to feed them to a bunch of furry little merchandising ploys.
Still, at least I can understand that logic behind that choice: commercial desires simply outweighed artistic ones. Boba Fett's undignified demise, I'll never get.

Did they expect him to be such a badass when it was filmed?
I mean, outside of having a cool helemt it's not like he does anything badass.
He just... picks up Han Solo after Vader does all the work... and that's pretty much it.

This is true as well. Fett's now mythological status was largely fan-developed, given that he didn't do much of anything.
Jango, now he deserved it. He killed a jedi with just a blaster rifle

Makes you think there must of been something wrong with those cloning vats.
Besides which, so are Stormtroopers now officially all clones or what?
I seem to remember one of the videogames talking about "New" clones being integrated with the original Jango clones for diversity's sake... and that become the new stormtroopers.
Unsure if that's canon though.

Canon, as far as i remember, states that the clones were slowly phased out over time. iirc (too lazy to look it up on Wookiepedia) the Kamino cloners turned on the Empire soon after Episode III and had to be dealt with, and the Emperor realized the weakness of having most of the clones come from the same stock. New clones were developed, but they slowly began a recruitment process as well. From memory, i want to say that by the original trilogy they were down to 20% clones, 80% volunteers.
In the original story Lucas wrote that became the screenplay for A New Hope, Luke was trying to get away from Tatooine to go join the Imperial Academy, though Biggs had also gone through that academy before defecting to the Rebellion, so they weren't originally conceived of as all-clone. Though the reason the Emperor was not in A New Hope was because he was originally conceived of as a weak pawn of the military warlords, a figurehead, unlike the omnipotent ringmaster he became, so Lucas retconned a little even within the original trilogy
